Sharing from the main feed when we continued our reread of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with Chapter 12: The Patronus. A lot of time passing through updates about whether or not Harry is getting his Firebolt back in time for Quidditch and many reminders that QUIDDITCH IS LIFE! More importantly, if anything could be more important than quidditch, Harry and Ron are still mad at Hermione...

I know it's been a little while but we left off 10 chapters into The Prisoner of Azkaban - so, I'm sharing the episode from the main feed when we picked up with chapter 11: The Firebolt! This one is not the most eventful chapter to welcome us back to the series, but there is a TON of foreshadowing throughout, delivered during conversations that Harry, Ron and Hermione have with Hagrid, the...

Will the Harry Potter TV Show be successful?! If they make it like THIS, it will be! In this short episode I share my thoughts on how to make sure the new series on Max works for everyone, whether they’re brand new viewers, potterheads or HP movie fans! DISCLAIMER: I recorded this for YouTube (https://youtu.be/ZUZKN4GCGxEback) in June but never shared it on the feed. So, there are updates about th...

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, life has made consistent content a challenge. But, this topic idea wouldn't let go of me, so I hit record! There is plenty of discourse among the fandom about whether Harry should have ended up with Ginny or someone else. But who else should it have been if it wasn't Ginny? I think my choice will surprise you! I'd love for you to...

Hi I’m Zac - Welcome to Belated Binge Harry Potter - in part the story of how a sports fanatic became a potterhead! Because despite growing up through the hype and looking quite a bit like Harry himself - I didn’t read these books until my mid twenties!  Why did I finally read them??

We've had some amazing Harry Potter discussions on this podcast, but it's time to binge! As we dive back into the 3rd book, Prisoner of Azkaban, I thought it would be good to reset on where we left off. In the first 5 chapters of POA, Harry has successfully managed to leave the Dursleys, in quite dramatic fashion. He's had a mini vacation in Diagon Alley with a hotel room to himself an...

Today is a bit of a retrospective episode because I realized that after we finished chamber of secrets. We never did a book wrap episode or in our case… give away any BINGIES!!! I went on vacation. Posted some bonus and guest episodes I’d done and then we jumped right into Prisoner of Azkaban. With all the new binges starting up and whatnot I didn’t even realize I missed it. So I figured before we...

I was thinking about Harry Potter spin-offs and I was thinking about the new upcoming TV show on Max. I know many people wanted new content. So that led me to thinking about how the new series could launch new spin-off shows. And what if I could decide what those were? And how they got launched? And what if they were all BACKDOOR PILOTS?!?And then I hit record... For bonus episodes and more cool s...

I'm turning back the clock to January 4, 2022. That's the day I posted the first chapter episode for this podcast covering the first chapter of Sorcerer's Stone. It's also the day I posted 2 theory episodes to Patreon called "All the Hookah Smoke" and "How Did He Know." Did Dumbledore create the hookah object we saw Grindlewald use in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of...

I thought we could take a quick break from the chapter episodes and tackle a current events topic: The upcoming Harry Potter TV series. I'll run through my reaction, my thoughts on how I think it could be a really cool tv show and spawn spinoff opportunities as well as why I ultimately think it's going to fail. For bonus episodes as well as many other benefits such as early access, show pr...
